I am planning to integrate Mvc.Futures in my project, but am unable to find any official documentation for this library.

Official project page on nuget.org points to old asp.net project page on codeplex and even there is not so clear where information about Futures can be found.

I might be missing something, but would appreciate if anyone can give me pointers to the right place.

Thanks.

  • Only use MVC at right way, Future features are not separate things, they only enhance previews releases and no anomaly will be found. So that, You can easily update project platform each time you want! – Amirhossein Mehrvarzi Mar 28 '14 at 11:22
  • @VishalVaishya thanks, but this is a page that explains Features, not Futures. – ljubomir Mar 28 '14 at 12:27
  • @AmirHosseinMehrvarzi My goal is to get rid of the "magic strings", and to use strongly typed Helpers for navigation. This feature was part of the Mvc.Futures from Mvc 2 and is still not part of the system.Web.Mvc library. – ljubomir Mar 28 '14 at 12:29

This is follow up on my own question:

I haven't found anything else related to Mvc.Futures after i posted this question, so i ended up using T4MVC which seem to get more love from MSFT than the Futures itself (lead developer of this template is MSFT employee David Ebbo).

We are using it quite successfully so far (more than 8 months) and i am pleased with the results.

For better integration with Visual Studio i am using AutoT4MVC extensions which runs the T4 templates on each change in the sections of the MVC app that require rebuild (such as Controllers, Content*, Views etc..)

To sum up - i would suggest that you stay out of Mvc.Futures for now and use T4MVC instead.
